Solubility question: http://tinypic.com/r/15qzx2e/5 I wrote the equation on a whiteboard and took a picture because it's easier and clearer than typing it out.

OpenStudy (aaronq):

BaCl2 is insoluble

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why is it insoluble?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i thought that all Cl- salts were soluble

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the only exceptions i know are Ag, Pb, and Hg

OpenStudy (aaronq):

sorry, you're right, normally Barium salts are insoluble

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it's confusing, because my answer key says that one of those two has to form a precipitate. but neither of them look like they would precipitate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I guess BaCl2 forms a slight precipitate?

OpenStudy (aaronq):

um, well it's solubility is really dependent on how much you have, (from wiki) 31.2 g/100 mL (0 °C) 35.8 g/100 mL (20 °C) 59.4 g/100 mL (100 °C)
